I did act rashly; which probably wasn't a good idea. The presence of 
malicious tools on the system and lack of much else was to me, a pretty good 
indication that I had the right person.

I normally would never retaliate in such a way, and in fact I typically help 
people lock their systems down, remove viruses, spyware, etc.. and educate 
them as to the proper ways to protect themselves. I'm not exactly "black 
hat", more white hat than anything.

I have learned certian things so that I might understand the ways in which I 
or my clients may be attacked, so that I may more adequately protect against 
such threats.

So such retaliation was pretty out of character for me. I'm not a "bad 
person" nor do I engage in unwarranted malevolent behavior.

Looking back, I was wrong.
I will not retaliate in such a way again...apologies to all...

I do hope I can earn your collective trust/respect back.
